Flower As Savior

Flower as Savior - - - - - - - - - - - - - Down came a feathery little soul Of rainbow wings and slender bill After darting here and darting there Towards the ground spiraled on wings weary And lost crowds amongst in a mall Looking fatigued and starving, she sat still Apprehending her to be crushed beneath carts and feet Cupped her in my hands and rushed for the exit So soft and so small was she against my palms Wondered I if her wings could surmount the qualms Then unto my fancy ventured out I To save this little soul sensitive and coy Looking here and there for flowers On plain and hill and in lonely dells Found daffodils, daisies and roses In an orchard that beckoned me and little soul with tenderness Finding her too weak to perch, in my palm I cupped her And held her up to each flower to drink the nectar Slowly she perked up cheering happiness and hope To see her going up and up and up Letting loose her claws on my finger, the humming bird Spreading her wings on her own to heaven good And I saw sweet miracle of flowers as savior And charming my heart to sing and fold, serene, her wings weary
